JSGME ?
 

I need to install two new mods but I can`t download the JSGME tool. I first tried JScones..."Visit my webpage to get the latest Generic Mod Enable. " When clicking on " my website" I get the following error message: "Page not available!" I also tried the internet with the same results.
I can`t find any solutions in the SH-5 SubSims forums so I decided to post it.

Steve added it to the download section:yep: try there:up:

I'm amazed at the number of people who don't even know there is a Downloads section. Or anything other than the one forum dedicated to the game they like.

Trevalley. thanks I found it within 5 min.

this was hard to find just reinstalled the game and was looking for mods and all the links I could find for JSGME are invalid thanks for the download here!

Your link is a very old version - 2.1.0.107, dated 2008. There have been many revisions since, and that one is quite buggy.

The one here on Subsim is current - 2.6.0.

Am I the only one who prefer to install manually instead of using JSGME?

I used to. The problem is that if you decide you don't like a mod or it causes conflicts, or even crashes, you're stuck. You have to reinstall the game and the mods, one at a time, until you find the one that caused the problem, then you have to do it all over again but leave that one out. With JSGME installing them is easy, it warns you of possible conflicts and you can take it back out easily.

About half of the mods I use are permanent installs, but not until they've been tested with JSGME first.

I use JSGME all the time now. For a while I still swore by the manual process, but that was mainly when I used a mod that was really great but needed a few "tweaks" of my own and I got tired of having to do those tweaks every time I reinstalled and reloaded. Then I just made a habit of modding the mods in the original MODS folder after testing my tweaks and now I hardly do anything manually anymore.

One thing I particularly love about JSGME is the .mep files. Every time I have a mod loadout that works really well, I create one of those. Then, if I ever have to reinstall, all I have to do is to run JSGME, load the .mep file and JSGME loads all of my mods in the order I specify. Makes "reloading" a breeze. :up:
